Last night was a little interesting. I went to sleep at 11pm Moscow time and could still see some blue in the sky. The sun rose before 4am. We went to the Kremlin today and took a tour of the chapels. They are absolutely amazing. The largest cannon & bell are both on display there as well. The cannon had to have a 3 foot bore. The bell was about 15 feet tall and 2 feet thick at the base. There is a piece broken off the lower rim of the bell that is taller than Rain. I took about 50 pictures of the chapels and inside the Kremlin wall. We're in the air on the way to Khabarovsk and should land about 10am. We're flying Domodedovo airlines this time. So far it seems about the same as Dalavia. The plane is an IL-62M - built in the 70's judging by the formica paneling. I'm adjusting to the jet lag a little better this trip than on the first one. The return trip should be easier too since we'll be in Khabarovsk 2 weeks and Moscow 5 days. A little over 24 hours stands between us and our court date now. We're almost there.
